I mean, these things are kind a dog-like ED209, the big robot that killed the exec in the beginning. Unless there is the brain of a cop that died inside that dog mech, I’m going to have to go with no.

It’s been 20 or 30 years since I last saw it, but wasn’t the only robot their good guy? Because these robots are just tools for the villains of real life to better suppress people…

The cyborg, RoboCop was a good guy. But even he had programming blocking him from opposing or harming the crooks that headed the corporation that built his robotic body and they were not good guys at all. They also had the fully robotic walking tanks Ed 209, that did their bidding fully (when not experiencing bugs).

No, the cyborg (personhood, empathy) is the hero, the hulking robots are unthinking beasts that follow the commands of their human masters…
